The Meaning of the Common World in Perioperative Nursing Care; A Hermeneutic Study

There are no basic sources of the perioperative   dialogue, an ideal working model within perioperative nursing care. What is   the perioperative dialogue? The reader needs more information about earlier   research within the model of perioperative dialogue

We have added a paragraph titled The   perioperative dialogue with this requested information.

The two authors   have used their dissertation but they have to write about their research   instead. Data are from 7 articles. Tabl 1 is incomplete how to understand   this?

We agree. Thus, we have added a paragraph titled Empirical   underpinning of the study in which our published research from the   perioperative dialogue is described including methods for data collection   data analysis and research participants. Hopefully   it will be clearer that the aims and results in Table 1 are derived from this   research. We hope that this introductory paragraph will serve as a complement   to Table 1.

on page 4 they   present the common world is central in caring science without ref..why?

We have added three references according to the   common world in relation to the context of caring science

The aim is incomplete to the results of this study.   Please make it clearer.

The aim is revised in order to be more complete in   relation to the results of this study.

here are no method and the authors have used   Gadamers philosohy without argument why.

We have omitted the title hermeneutic text   interpretation and named the paragraph Method. Under the title Method   we have added with arguments why we found Gadamers hermeneutics   suitable.  

The section with ontological standpoint is too   extensive.

The section with ontological standpoint has been   shortened with 50 words.  

The section of hermeneutic text interpretation needs   to be rewrite so readers can understand how the interpretation have been done.

We have rewritten the hermeneutic text   interpretation and it is now integrated in all the four spiral activities   following the hermeneutic interpretation movements.

The result is   less from the children’s perspective who participated in the perioperative   dialogue. What is the common world for them?

We believe that it is no difference between the   children and the adults in the experience of the common world, which became   obvious in the new understanding, presented under the heading of Fusion of   horizon.

What is the new understanding in this study?

On pages 15-16 we have divided the text under the   heading of “Towards a new understanding” into two parts and added the heading   Fusion of horizon-the new understanding in order to make the new   understanding explicit.

Describe the   substance in the perioperative dialogue?

We are not sure if we understood this comment but in   earlier research the substance in the perioperative dialogue has been   described as for example continuity of care, play on the stage of caring,   promise of care, making time for the patient.

In the   implication the authors need to explain why should nurses and nurse leaders   use the perioperative dialogue. What qualities are required by nurses to be   in a common world?

We agree. The implications have been revised and   rewritten in relation to qualities, required by   nurses to be in a common world.

Funding NO but   Skaraborg institute was funding this research. Is this ok?

Funding should be YES. Skaraborg institute was   funding this research. We are grateful to the reviewer for observing this,   our mistake.

the references must be reviewed.

We have reviewed the references.

The authors present a well-defined method and in   that it contributes to the methodological development within the   hermeneutical research in perioperative caring science.

Thank you

This method I believe is appropriate for attaining a   deeper understanding of perioperative caring.

Thank you- we agree,   that this method Is appropriate for attaining a deeper   understanding of perioperative caring.

But some paragraphs could be less extensive.

We agree. Several paragraphs have been revised and   shortened 

And the conclusions can be   improved.

We agree. The conclusion has been revised and   rewritten in relation to qualities,   required by nurses to be in a common world.
